{"product_id":"thunderhead-7","title":"Thunderhead","description":"The lyric poems in Daye Phillippo's radiant debut collection Thunderhead explore faith, motherhood, family, and community. As the author has put it, she has lived her life \"\"backwards,\"\" first raising a large family, then going back to school, and only now seeing her work find its way into print. Rooted in Midwestern farm country near where she grew up, these place-based poems reflect a spiritual practice: searching for--and expecting to find--the sacred in the ordinary world of trees and weeds and seasons. Here you will find red-rooted pigweed and red-wing blackbirds, cornfields, woods, streams, gardens, and the creatures (human and otherwise) who inhabit them, in addition to a wide night sky filled with stars, and the ancient underground river, the Teays, that throbs and flows beneath them all. During a thunderstorm, Phillippo wonders: \"\"what if, \/ in choosing words to ponder we choose \/ our countenance, too?\"\" The poems in this collection offer us not only a compelling self-portrait, but a mirror in which we may better see who we are and might become.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46533955748050,"sku":"9781639820702","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_2bdecdc3-9956-4972-8db4-675a021b30f8.jpg?v=1762859619","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/thunderhead-7","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
